Bootlegger Classic I (Everything Thread-Invite Only)

by **German American States** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 2:55 pm

Welcome to the first ever Bootlegger Classic! The Bootlegger Classic is the annual national 11 vs. 11 football/soccer invitational tournament held by the German American Football Federation(GAFF).

There have been 8(4 from Esportiva, 4 from other regions)teams invited. The plan is to set the teams up in two brackets. Teams facing each other will play two matches with aggregate scores determining who moves on to the next round. Of course, the final and 3rd place match will be single matches.

For scoring, I am 75% sure I will be using the latest version of NSFS. I will also be using the newest KPB rankings. I will update them if they come out before the start of this tournament.

In regards to cutoffs, I am in the EST time zone. I will hold cutoffs at 7 PM EST with scores going up within the hour.

*Note: If you do not post your rosters, I will use the same style mod as you used in the most recent installment of the World Cup.

Any questions, TG me.

If you are invited, please post saying you are in and we will add your name to this list.

You're welcome to say; it won't make a difference to the end result

by **Sangti** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 5:54 pm

We are accepting the invitation. After all, the team who beat us in the final of the last CE is also here, but screw that.

by **Welsh Cowboy** » Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:43 pm

Welsh Cowboy lacks a regional championship, so I'm happy to accept my invitation.

Note the bracket and the schedule are up. I hope to get the first cutoff on Monday, so lets get moving!

(Gah, I confused myself. Here is the roster and everything. :s)

The Felixian Football Association Presents...

The Felixian National Football Team

Intro-

Ever since Daniel Cardona resigned from the job as head coach after a series of bad performances in the Campionato Esportiva, Olympics and then the World Cup Qualifiers itself, the team has been in disarray. The assistant head coach Manuel Alessandri was the caretaker replacement of the team and while he did get Felix's only win in the whole tournament his board goal of getting 3 wins was not met and he was soon relieved (and by relieved, I mean brutally fired) from his duties as head coach. It was a tough year for Felixian football after starting off so gracefully (yes, I am not counting the horrid start Felix had in CE, sue me) with a second place finish in the BoF and then a third place finish in Group 18, so close to making it to the qualifying playoffs. Now fast forward to the hiring of Ishikawa Haruka, Ishikawa becomes the first woman and foreigner that the FFA has ever hired and the board and it's diehard fans has a lot of expectations for her as she entered her first tournament, the Cup of Harmony. Her debut was mediocre at best as the team finished in the Group rounds failing to go on to the next stage. Now the FFA has told her to enter this tournament hosted by the German American States in hopes that she can get her team ready for the Campionato Esportiva. Now with out further delay, here is the roster for the Bootlegger Classic I.

GK (2)-
Matías Ciriaco {Age: 31} [C] (Santa Maria City

)*
Ciriaco was born in Villarreal, Felix a town 30 minutes away from Santa Maria, the capitol of Felix. He is a very talented man and is second in line as goalkeeper. He was first in line back in WC 66 qualifiers but he did allow a bad amount of goals. Right now he is on the road to recovery as a goalkeeper as he starts to work harder and harder. He is now the starter for the national team and he might hold on to this position if he plays well here. He is also the team captain of the team.

Viggo Tyko {Age: 31} (Cato

)
Viggo Tyko was born in Cato, Felix and is a legend at his town due to his antics as a goalkeeper in both Cato, the team he plays for and the national team. He is a talented man with years of experience and is a great man to be around with. He is also a natural leader. He was replaced by Ciriaco as he didn't perform as well as the new coach expected. If his replacement doesn't play well, he might get his job back.

DEF (8)-
Bernardino Florentino {Age: 26} (Santa Maria City

)**
Bernardino is a defensive star in Santa Maria City, originally from Altomare and once was on their youth team, this overlooked player landed a job in Santa Maria City, hoping to prove his doubters wrong and show Altomare that he needed to be in their team. With him winning the FCL last year with his team he has garnered a lot of support all over the multiverse and at home. He is certainly a star man.

Aloysius Blau {Age: 26} (Stalliongrad HC

)**
Aloysius Blau hasn't had the glamourous life many players have in this team. Born in downtown Sieberg, he comes from humble beginnings, his father was killed by muggers at the age of 5 and his mother worked all day to support him and his younger brother, Titus Blau. Football was an escape for the young Blau and eventually he garnered attention from scouts, he was scouted by Sporting Volker and he soon started to play for them. He did amazing and after winning two FCL titles with them he moved to Stalliongrad where he continues to play amazingly well.

Alexis Garcia {Age: 23} (Hampshire United

)**
Alexis is a strong man coming from the small town of Islas in northern Felix. Because of that he learned two languages as a kid, Catalan and Castilian (Spanish). When he first joined Hampshire United, he quickly learned English, surprising considering he knew how to speak the language quicker than he could develop a bond with his teammates. The reason because he didn't make friends with his teammates because he is a naturally shy man. But through football he has learned to get out of that shell and become a great man like he is today.

Rubinho Mata {Age: 26} (Sieberg

)**
Rubinho Mata comes from the small Portuguese speaking area of Felix and because of that he has had to learn and adapt to other languages. So far he can speak four of the five national languages because of that, he speaks Swedish, English, Italian, Castilian and his native language Portuguese. He can also understand German and French. He is a talented man overall in football as well as he a medium size defender with great speed. Expect him to be put in as soon as something bad happens as he is a good cover man.

Manuele Provenza {Age: 24} (Circulus Ludis Sisseno

)
Manuele was born in Altomare, Felix and has loved his Altomare team forever. So it was a shock when he moved to another team especially a foreign one. But he is that good and he couldn't help himself but attract attention from foreign teams. So he left to prove his stuff elsewhere. He too is a natural leader despite the fact he is quite the cocky man.

Josh Smith {Age: 23} (Hampshire United

)
Josh Smith has always been ignored by the common crowd. Despite him being the first black man to play in Hampshire United way back when he has made little noise in the team until last year. Despite the unconvincing record with Hampshire United he played remarkably well with a lot of skill and finesse. He is a dangerous man to be around with and he might see some playing time if needed.

Kaapo Samu {Age: 22} (Cato

)
Kaapo is a Swedish speaking man and is very proud of it. He refuses to leave his beloved Cato and it is good for Cato as Samu is very talented defender, he is big and tall and surprisingly has quick movements. He is clearly a man to watch as he is slowly but surely rising through the ranks of the team and will start in a match or two.

Jon Vilmar {Age: 22} (Dusseldorf F.C

)
Jon Vilmar like Kaapo is a graduate of the U-21 system Sanna had and it can show that he is a talented man with the amount of training Sanna gave Vilmar and Samu. Vilmar has a bright future ahead of him and he should expect to see playing time in the future as the veterans start to age and the opportunities start to arise.

MID (10)-
Ji Iseul Kwan {Age: 24} (Ponyville United

)**
Ji Iseul Kwan is one of only two Koreans in the whole team. He is also one of the fastest players in the whole team as he has a great level of acceleration and has big strides. That's probably the main reason why he was picked by Ponyville United during the offseason. But not only does Kwan have great speed he is just a great midfielder and man to be with in and off the pitch. He is a talented shooter and expect him to do some long shots.

Gabriel Jenaro {Age: 24} (Santa Maria City

) **
The man that replaced Sebastian Krister has certainly made his mark in the field in Santa Maria City. he has made a huge impact to the team and is a favourite in the team. While he isn't as good at shooting as Krister is he is nonetheless a amazing midfielder with great awareness and strength. He is also good at corner shots as he delivers the ball right to the heads or legs of the men in the middle.

Sebastian Krister {Age: 22} (Bjarnarey Flotilla

)**
Sebastian Krister is the main star of Felixian football at the moment as he is currently the only Felixian in a top league, league. Despite him playing in Bjarnrey he is still a man to see as he and his great teammates take on the giants of Polar Islandstates football. He is a talented man and he was in Santa Maria City before he was bought. He will most definitely like the new system the head coach puts as it fits more with his style.

Kunibert Mathias {Age: 22} (Dusseldorf F.C

)**
Kunibert is a talented weapon in a struggling Dusseldorf team. Born in Dusseldorf, Felix. He is one of two main goal scorers for the Dusseldorf team as well. He is a talented man from the U-21 system Sanna set up. He will most defiantly thrive in the new system the head coach is making to the Felixian team. He will most likely be used in massive counteroffensives, due to his skills at passing and running and will be the man to watch from the Felixian team.

Violetta Romanov {Age: 27} (Lyon

)**
Violetta was a star of the Felixian women's FCL and is still is with her debut with Lyon. She played in the Olympic team for women's football and is expected to do amazing things in this team. She is one of the first female players to be in the all sexes team and she is expected to do a lot of good things for the team. She will now start in the Bootlegger Classic I and she hopes to impress the coach with her playing skills. If she can keep her job, she will be a midfielding legend on the women's side.

Rubén Sastre {Age: 25} (Santa Maria F.C

)
Sastre is a great player that is stuck in a not so great team. He has been a great player all his life and loyal to Santa Maria F.C but that loyalty is fading as his team will most likely be regulated. Regardless of his club's short falls, he has maintained his skill with the national team and could be a key player in the team if given a chance to do that. He has great speed, agility and most importantly can rally the team in a counter offensive. With his skillset many shouldn't be surprised if he starts in a match sooner or later.

Rodney Dunham {Age: 25} (Port York

)
Rodney Dunham born in York, Felix is the unknown man of the Felixian football universe. He has a set of skills that could rival anyone yet oddly enough has been ignored by the best scouts when he was younger and was at first ignored from the lineup. But in proving and leading Port York to a surprising finish in the FCL last year he garnered a lot of attention.. Now he will hopefully take advantage of that and play in the national team and do his thing, win.

Andres de Colorado {Age: 24} (Ponyville United

)
Andres, like Dunham was ignored by the best scouts but he had a faster rise and was noticed by foreign teams faster than Dunham has. He originally was born in Vigo, scouted by Napoli and later joined them. He played there for a bit when he was transferred out to Ponyville United, where he currently plays and has since then has been proven to be a good weapon for the team as he has played solidly. Expect him to be seen more in the future.

Manolo Espina {Age: 24} (Sieberg

)
Manolo Espina was born in Gallo, Felix a small Italian speaking town just west of Altomare. He has been a great talent ever since he was a little boy. He was soon discovered by two teams, Altomare and Sieberg. Going against his parent's wishes and decided to go with Sieberg. He is now one of the best midfields still in the Felixian league system. He currently one of the rising stars, he will be a major weapon in the current lineup, but for now he will be sitting on the bench as another player will replace him.

Felix Pier {Age: 31} (Oceania

)
One of the veterans of the Felixian BoF class, he has kind of fallen out of favour due to the fact he is being overshadowed by younger players and locally, clubs are preforming better than his is. But he still has that talent, not in terms of speed but in leadership, strength and passing accuracy. He will start in games but not anytime soon.

FWD (6)-

Eutimio Salazar {Age: 23} (Ponyville United

)**
Salazar was born in Santa Maria. Salazar is another great player from Sieberg that was bought by a foreign team. He was bought by Ponyville United. He is a talented man with great speed, shooting power and passing ability. He is a man to watch for as he will be used in a lot of counteroffensive operations in the game. He will start in the Bootlegger Classic.

Mikel Araboa {Age: 25} (Mandon United

)
Mikel Araboa was one of the main stars of the Felixian national team as he was one of the top goal scorers of the whole team in the BoF and was in the top five in the list in the World Cup qualifiers. He was born in Barcelona, Felix. He will continue to shine brightly as a star as long he plays well, which he will. He is currently playing in Apox in Mandon United. He is agile, speedy and has uncanny way of scoring goals. He is accurate with shots and is good at passing. He is currently one of the candidates for team captain but he isn't playing right now.

Geraldo Pánfilo {Age: 23} (Santa Maria City

)
Geraldo is a star in Santa Maria City and he is one of the best players in the club. He is also one of the best players in the whole team but he was beaten out by Mikel Araboa for the only forward spot, in the new system the head coach made. He will most likely play in after Mikel gets tired or, heavens forbid, gets injured, as he is the immediate successor.

Yun Dong Lee {Age: 30} (Matthew City Senators

)
Yun Dong Lee, born in Santa Fe, Felix, he is one of two Korean Felixians in the national team. A experienced veteran at international football, well as experienced as you can get in Felix, he is a good professional with a high work ethic and leadership skills to admire. He has a powerful but sometimes inaccurate shot. He will start in some games if the lineup requests more forwards than midfielders.

Simo Roni {Age: 24} (Stalliongrad HC

)
Simo is another great player that once played for Santa Maria City (and was also born there) and later moved to another team. He is a talented man with a skill set to watchout for. He might be small but he surprisingly has a moderately high level of strength and unsurprisingly is the fastest player in the whole team. He is accurate with shots and he is great at crossing and passing. He, like Yun, will see the field in the tournament.

Constança Rios {Age: 27} (Lyon

)
Constança is another female player in the unisex team. She was born in a small town called Portuguesa where, unsurprisingly, they speak Portuguese. She is a talented player with great speed, shooting ability, and if caught in a counterattack, she can easily defend well due to her physical style of play. She will start a game or two in this tournament.

Republic of Welsh Cowboy
Bootlegger Classic I Roster

For the first time ever, the Welsh Cowboy national football team will be participating in a non-WCC tournament at the senior level. The squad was pleased to be invited to participate in this tournament with several other notable footballing nations, especially following Welsh Cowboy's success in the only football tournaments it has participated in to date: namely, the 53rd Baptism of Fire (which they won), the 66th World Cup (where they finished 2nd in the group), and the 58th Cup of Harmony (in which they reached the round of 16). Manager George Pingrell had no qualms about declaring that he wished to win the entire competition.

The Roaring Dragons' roster features mainstays such as Alec Vordeau and Matthew Guval, although several new faces will join the squad. The starting lineup remains much the same, with the two changes consisting of a swap at defensive midfielder from Anders Kleppner to Patrick Teller, and the insertion of left winger Markus Bellazeni for Sergio Calabana.

Licentian National Football Team

For the first time in quite a while, the Cyan-and-Gold will be taking part in a tournament outside of the World Cup and Campionato.

Starting Eleven – 1/3-4-5-2/8/7-6-10-11/9
